Another year is upon us...already! December was another cold month! We enjoyed a great Ptak Christmas party on the 14th, followed by Ken's work party at Stancotto's on the 15th. I took the girls from the store along with hubbys to Shintos on December 5th. It was a lot of fun and of course very expensive!! but it was worth it. I don't splurge like that very often.
Christmas was WONDERFUL! I have to admit I think it was our BEST ever! I got both things that I asked for and more. I wanted some Jaclyn Smith towels from Kmart and a Wii and got both of them. I also got a HUGE calculator that I have also wanted but just wouldn't buy it for myself. I got a couple of Olive Garden gift cards and a gift card for Game Stop to buy Wii fitness. We received gift cards from Mom & Ron and cash from Ken's mom that we are going to use to buy a new smaller freezer. I also had a winning lottery ticket!
I also had the BEST year giving! Greg got new tires and a muffler for his car. I also got him a Harbor Freight card, Giant Eagle gift card and a couple of odd restaurants gift cards. Melissa got a digital camera and printer. We also got her a Walmart gift card. Jeff got Cavs tickets, $$ towards the TV he wanted (something 32") He also got some odd gift cards for restaurants (that he just got:) I had them hidden away because he is as snoopy as me and I forgot about them...just found them yesterday!) The best gifts were for Ken...of course they were for me too. I got us tickets to see Jeff Dunham in May and of course our 7 day cruise in April. I can't wait...he wasn't even mad which is good I would have to trade him in:) Jake & Joe got him the Jeff Dunham videos. The boys also all got new underwear and the boys and Melissa all got new socks. Yes, it was a good year!
New Years Eve we had our usual get together for the family. Darla and the kids were here too! Other then having a head cold we had a great time and welcomed the year in with our dearest friends and family.
I am hoping that 2009 will continue to be a great year too! So far it is off to a good start. I signed a 6 month lease at the same rent for the store and in less then 3 weeks leave for sunny California with Jeff for CHA. I am sooooooooo looking forward to the warm weather. It is a mini vacation for Jeff too. We have a 2 hour layover in Vegas so we can gamble a little then on Saturday night we are going to Disney. I couldn't believe he wanted to go...and being that close how could we NOT? I also have a request to get tickets to an Ellen taping...now that would be a dream for me. I hope to hear something soon on those. It will be a busy few days but I know he is up to the challenge, and as Barb said he can easily be replaced!!
Well I am gonna run...write more soon!
